Do not tow faster than 45mph and check the local, state and federal requirements before towing on any public road.

Use caution when backing up, using a spotter outside the vehicle is recommended.

ALWAYS disconnect your log splitter from the towing vehicle before operating it.

NEVER move the log splitter while the engine is running. Shut off the engine if you are leaving the log splitter, even for a short
period of time.

ALWAYS be careful when moving or lifting the log splitter. Get assistance if it feels too heavy to move by yourself.

Move the fuel shutoff to “OFF” before towing the Wood Splitter.

a) Place log on the end plate and turn until it leans against the beam and is stable.

b) When splitting extra-large or uneven logs, the log must be stabilized with wooden shims or split wood placed

between the log and end plate or ground

NEVER use your foot, a rope or any extension device to operate the control lever on the valve. Only use your right hand.

Transporting The Log Splitter

3. Attach the coupler hitch to a class I or higher 2” ball on the towing vehicle latch securely.
